ANY solution that provides wireless data to these places is good enough for them.

The difference between niche and broad acceptance depends on the number of people included by "them".

Hotspots are the only solution to deliver the kind of bits/second/cubic foot necessary to cover the places that people are "most of the time".

Actually, wires do an awfully good job "most of the time". For a desktop system that never moves, wireless is an unnecessary expense.

Here's a clue: to get the kind of bandwidth folks will find useful, the darn things have to be installed indoors, several per floor, every floor per high-rise.

Have you considered the security issues of the kind of installation you are describing? This kind of universal wireless means that essentially every user in the company presents the same security challenge as supporting the user sitting in Starbucks.
